Terrorist Donuts

The Hobbes one is less of an eyesore ... and people just seem to like it better overall. Next time I will be sure to take my hair out of the ponytail so that I don't look bald. :D
 
i say let them eat them donuts all they want. Natural selection will eventually kick in and all the fatties will have a heart-attack while driving 90mph down the freeway in their SUV causing the horrific deaths of several more fatties.

Wow, that was morbid.

Personally, I love donuts, but Krispy Kremes can suck my nut
 
Obese people, they should do something about themselves, either excercise or get a balanced diet, it isn't that hard.

That's like telling someone they should quit smoking... "it isn't that hard."

I'm not saying people shouldn't try to quit smoking or maintain a healty lifestyle, but saying "it isn't that hard" devalues their efforts to do so.

I'm lucky I don't have either problem, but from all scientific reports I've read it's anything but easy to change.
 
Luis, It is easy for you because your body set point and chemical makeup are predisposed to maintain that certain balance. Its simply not the same for everyone. Brian chemistry has an insane amount of control on appetite, thirst, and self image. Anorexia is a runaway problem in the exact opposite direction. They see themsleves as fat and the thought of food makes them utterly ill. You simply cannot tell them to eat and be done with it.

I succesfully quit smoking and i can say that it isn't that hard as you think. Also when i said i'd lose the belly i did it, it took me 2 months to go from size 34 to size 30, i could have did it faster, i just didn't want to, and it wasn't so hard.

I'm sure that on 90% of the obese cases the problem resides in the mind, not in the body, they just can't quit eating crap.

I can get fat pretty fast if i want to, it is enough to go and eat 2 bigmacs daily, drink 2 liters of coke, eat tons of ice cream, and eat in the night lots of quesadillas.

I've seen obese people that are eating ALL THE TIME, they even carry a bag with cookies, bread, candies or whatever they eat, it is almost disgusting to see that type of person eating. They could stop eating for a month and still have "reserves" to survive. If have a need for eating that is way above normal you should go to a specialist in eating disorders.

Everything has a solution, except death, and maybe that will be solved in the future as well.

For me this is true but I wouldn't put it generally at 90%. You have the deal with the emotional problems behind overeating as well as diet at the same time, and believe me it's hard. I don't eat like a lot of people I know but I'm compelled to constantly sabotage my own efforts to lose weight, but I'm determined to succeed because for me it's a matter of life and death.

I used to binge really badly when I was younger, but not for quite a few years now, but I just have to look at a chocolate bar and I put on weight. Years of yo-yo dieting does that to you. The compulsion is really difficult to overcome though and sometimes I feel like I'm slowly committing suicide.
 
i went running at the Y today between classes and I was just cleaning up to leave when this enourmous guy comes in. he starts bitching about how he has to lose weight because he weighs like 350. I didn't understand how he could exercise 4 days a week and not lose weight, even though he said he had worked down to 6 beers a night, jeez.

What is the figure? 2/3 of Americans are overweight? :disgust2:
 
That depends on what your baseline for overweight is. I think the government still works from the Depression era studies. That would make any adult male over 145 pounds morbidly obese.
 
Remember that the most popular person on a nudist beach is the guy who can carry 2 cups of coffee and a dozen doughnuts.

Insurance companies do the same thing for other obvious reasons.

And the most popular woman is the one who can eat the last donut....With NO HANDS!
 
Take a look at my photo gallery picture when you get a chance, do I look obese? Chunky, maybe, pudgy, ok, but obese? I'm 5'10" and supposed to be something like 160. In that picture I'm at least 200. Does 40 pounds overweight make me obese? I wouldn't be surprised. :rolleyes:
 
That's crazy. I'm 6'3", and fairly muscular, but with what was always a "skinny" frame. Even when I'm in "great" shape I have a hard time getting down to 200... when I'm in that good of shape I generally have plenty of muscle to go along with a low body fat percentage.

Currently I work out 3 days a week, run 10 miles a week (on days other than when I work out), and eat very healthy 6 days a week. And I'm 205. That puts me "overweight", even for "large frame, muscular" end of the scale. :rolleyes:

That's nuts. If anything, people tell me I'm still too skinny.
